Shoot me a DM if you guys need anything. Starting to fill the weekend schedule up.

Working on getting a Colorado LLC. Located in Pueblo West, CO.

Otherwise, I'm ready to start taking more work.

Appreciate it!

That is awesome. I wish you the best success in your endeavors. All of our off road shops are six to eight weeks out for work.

What kind of work are you looking to do?

Jeep work only. Not an open shop for everything anymore, just Jeep work. ATV's and Motorcycles if I get bored. Lol

Gears, cages, suspension, engine swaps, blowers, cams, clutches, electrical, axle trusses, 3/4-links... Complicated to simple. It's really whatever people need.

I do have a real job so I book on the weekends. Friday drop off, Sunday pick-up usually. Depends on the work.

I don't make any money on parts so it's always been labor + parts/fluids. Small consumable charges for welding just to cover my consumables +10%. Bring your own parts is OK.

Labor is - $80/hour. Flat rate for gears, clutches, and normal/routine work.

If I ever find a Rubi t-case I may just finally drive out to you. No one in CA seems to be able to handle a t-case swap. 😕
That's really crazy... it's such a simple task really. I've heard similar stories from NC and VA, too.

I got very close and a shop had it for 5 days but they had purchased the wrong t-case and thought an auto would fit in a manual despite me telling them it would not.

I wonder where they got that from. Even in the JK, they were splined differently between auto and manual.

They bought the t-case from a trans shop that re-builds transmissions and t-cases. I gave them the part # of the manual JL Rubi t-case and said only that part will fit. They had it for 5 days and I guess kept going back to try different ones because the splines wouldn't line up. After trying 2 different ones they put my Sport t-case back in and I picked it up and went on my way.

That's depressing... even MOPAR Parts sites list which models those part #'s are compatible with.

Well, if you need some help, I'll be happy to get it done. Just a long drive for something like this.

I once drove to New Mexico for a burger so this is right up my alley of things I'd do. 🤣

If you hear of anyone going Atlas and has a Rubi t-case for sell keep me in mind. Good luck with the new garage shop. It looks awesome. I'd love to have a lift in my garage.

Congrats! That’s a nice setup!

I’ve been dragging my feet on getting my gears done, but I will be scheduling something with you in the next few months.
